Smashwords book reviews by Ronald

    I found Vol. 1 to be an excellent story. The writer displays originality and he maintains a riveting storyline. I have rated Vol. 1 with a 5 star and am now reading Vol. 2. That being said, this writer really needs to have an editor to refine his writings. The multitude of errors, such as duplicate and missing words, are distracting for me. Also the inclusion of the repetitive 'Prologue' at the beginning of most chapters, which may have been (doubtfully) needed when he presented this story online in chapter submissions, are totally out of place in book form. I would sincerely suggest that Mr. Steele, and other authors, acquire and use a 'text to speech' program, such as "Ultra Hal". Listening to a writing allows the writer to pick out errors quite easily. As I am nearly blind, I use this program to 'read', along with my Word program, and a 46" TV (used as my PC monitor). I also used Ultra Hal to "edit" this review. Wow! Spell Check included! I am looking forward to Vol. 3 Carry on, Mr. Steele!
